1-2-3 Dynamic on-top tabular (DTT) web page editing

ABSTRACT

A method and system for a user to consistently edit information on web pages at real-time. It starts with a authorize login for the said web pages. And then, the process of editing the select data can be done in 3 steps: First a user selects an option from an initial command menu, a tabular form is generated for said selected option; Second, said user inputs data in said tabular form, said user will then selects said option from a command menu on said tabular form; Third, wherein said user selects cancel from said command menu on said tabular form, said user will return back to the initial said command menu, or wherein said user selects submit option from said command menu on said tabular form, said server will store that data in to said data storage, said server will save the data as current data in the web control, said server will generate a new html document and post back onto said system with input data as view data, said system will render the new html document to said web page. Wherein said user elects to make additional changes to said web page, said process would be repeated by starting again at said initial command menu.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to the field of web pages. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method and system for editing web pages via the internet using Dynamic On-Top Tabular (DTT) to achieve a consistent look and feel to web pages in a quick and efficient manner.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

All web stores such as ebay.com and amazon.com offer customers the ability to browse and purchase products from their online stores. Most of these products are managed by a third party, the web store owners. The web store owners, if they wish to add, update, and customize the store merchants go to an admin web page using their web browser. These new updated information then will be stored to data storage. When customers browse the web store, data will be pulled from data storage and display on the web page. The web page view presented to the customers is different from the admin page view presented to the web store owners. However the admin pages actually carry the same content as the customers browse pages with some extra features that allow web store owners to edit the web store.

However, various web developers have developed some technology that allows web store owners to directly edit information on the customer's web pages using various look-and-feel popup dialogs (in this article, popup dialog, modal popup, or popup window is considered as popup generally.) The web store owners log on, the server after verifies the web store owner identification then it will populate the admin web page with the same view as the view when a customer browse the web store. The difference is the owner's page has the capability to edit displayed information. If the web store owners choose to edit the content of the page, the browser will display a distinct look-and-feel popup dialog with many various look-and-feels actions commands. The stores owners will enter new information into said distinct look-and-feel popup dialog, and then choose a relatively action that accommodate (or place) on said various look-and-feel dialogs with the new input data, and then submit it to the server. The server will populate the new data and post it back to the store owner's web page. The web owner browser will render the new information. This method solves the problem of having the two web pages for customers and web store owners in a traditional web stores. This is an advance technology compared to the old web editor technology. Wherein, the various look-and-feel popup dialogs do solve the web store owner and their customers view differences problem in traditional web stores. However, this is not an absolute solution for web page information editing.

Accordingly, there is a substantial need in the art for a faster and more efficient way to edit web pages or web controls (web control can be, but not limit, as user control) to improve the productivity and efficiency so that the web store owner can easily add, update, and customize their own online store to achieve a consistent look and feel.

Accordingly, there is a substantial need in the art for a better and more efficient way to edit web pages or web controls across all the edit dialogs without the need for various look-and-feel popup dialogs.

Additionally, there is a substantial need in the art to help web page owners achieve a consistent look across all the web pages without various look-and-feel dialogs.

Furthermore, there is a substantial need in the art to achieve consistent expression of the edit dialogs each time it is presented to the web store owner to improve productivity and efficiency and speed up the learning curve.

Currently, with Ajax technology along with it hover technology, some personal pages of Microsoft msn website allows a user or owner goes to edit each web page or web control on the same pages; however the way they does will extent the original area of the web control. In facts, some technology adds other label or text that is not supposed to be placed on said original area of the web control. The distortion of said original area of the web control will make said web controls lay out has to be carefully design at web page design time by the webmasters or programmers; otherwise, the change of the said original area of the said web control will effect the rest of the control, and change the look of the whole page.

Accordingly, there is a substantial need in the art to free a webmasters or programmer to design the page layout at the design time without worry of the distortion of said web page layout at the runtime.

Currently, even with said Ajax technology and its current use, if the editor does not switch between edit mode and view mode with by toggle explicitly, the editor may accidentally select an action that will unload the current edit page and upload another page according to said selected action. The outcome of the accident is numerous and unpredictable.

Accordingly, there is a substantial need in the art to allow the editor gracefully switching the edit and view mode explicitly within standard number of triggers. Said standard number of triggers guarantees said accident free.

Most websites on the internet has 3-tiers, the user interface tier, the business rule tier and data access tier.

The data access tier has access and manages their data using DBMS. DBMS is database management system software designed and engineered to manipulate the information in a database. It can add, delete, modify, sort, display and search for specific information. Traditionally DBMS stores data in records and each record can be view in tabular form expression. However, no one in the art has thought to use the DBMS tabular form expression for web page editing to help simplify the editing process.

In fact, since most mobile device have a small screen size, there is a need in the art for a command menu and the tabular form that can be easily displayed for viewing and editing.

Accordingly, there is a substantial need in the art for a way to edit data on web pages, wherein the data is viewed and stored in a tabular form.

Additionally, there is also a substantial need in the art for web store owners to use the tabular form modal popup to enter the new values for input fields on the DTT tabular form, and then they can simply either submit or cancel the process of loading new input field values into web control by single click.

Additionally, there is also a substantial need in the art for web store owners to be able view and display their web page as their customers do to achieve a consistent look and feel to the web page.

Additionally, there is a substantial need in the art for a way to edit data on web pages to improve productivity and efficiency.

Furthermore, there is also a substantial need in the art to simplify the process of editing information on web pages.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Accordingly, it is an object of this invention that web page layout has same look and feel for both viewer at view mode and page editor at edit mode. Web pages will become editable after a successful authorized log in by a user.

It is an object of this invention to combine Modal Popup, Hover, Tabular Form, and etc. . . . to provide a unique editing process of web pages with consistent look-and-feel and action flow.

It is an object of this invention that the process for editing select data can be done in 3 steps: First a user selects an action from said command menu regardless of how edit data will be displayed on said tabular form. Secondly, the user will fill in data on a tabular form, regardless of how update data will be display on said display item. And finally, the user can either save or exit update data on tabular to come back to the first step.

It is an object of this invention that said tabular form can occupy the whole or partial display screen.

It is an object of this invention that said the editor (web store owner) either submits or cancel the process of loading new input field values (in DTT form) into a web control by just one click.

It is an object of this invention that the expression of tabular form and data structure in data storage (DBMS) are the similar.

It is an object of this invention that said tabular form input fields can validate, or spell check, or format input for any input fields on Dynamic On-Top Tabular (DTT). However all expression will be displayed in tabular form.

It is an object of this invention to sort, categorize, but not limit, input fields Dynamic On-Top Tabular (DTT).

After an authorized user logs in to the web page, it is an object of this invention that the web page layout will have the same look and feel for both viewer at view mode and page editor at edit mode.

It is an object of this invention in one embodiment that a command menu be displayed when a user slides the cursor mouse icon over the selected item for editing.

It is a further object of this invention in another embodiment that a command menu be displayed when a user selects the web control for editing by touching a screen or panel, or scrolling to the desired item.

Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide an improved method and system that allows a user to maintain an overall consistency of the look of the web page for customers and their web store owners.

It is also an object of this invention to provide an improved method and system to edit web pages or web controls across all the edit dialogs.

Additionally, it is also an object of this invention to provide an improved method and system to help web page owners achieve a consistent look across all the edit dialogs.

It is also an object of this invention to provide an improved method and system to achieve consistent expression of the command menu and edit dialogs each time it is presented to the web store owner to improve productivity and efficiency and speed up the learning curve.

It is also an object of this invention to respect tabular form general expression. The general expression includes input fields, and commands to submit or cancel the process of loading new input field values entered.

It is also an object of this invention to provide an improved method and system to edit data on web pages, wherein the data is viewed and stored in a tabular form.

It is also an object of this invention to provide an improved method and system to be able view and display their web page as their customers do to achieve a consistent look and feel to the web page.

it is also an object of this invention to provide an improved method and system for simplify the process of editing information on web pages.

A still further object of the invention is to allow those who are responsible to a particular business, individual, or other party to control, manage, and easily modify both the content of the information in the web page.

Accordingly, there is a substantial need in the art for a better and more efficient way to edit web pages or web controls without said various look-and-feel popup dialogs.

An embodiment of the present invention provides a method and system for consistent look and feel edit process on web pages. The client system is provided with an identifier to identify that user. The client system display information that identifies the editing-data and display a command menu that a user is to perform to request to edit the data. In response to the indicated action being performed, the server will use with use the identifier to generate a tabular editor and a command option on said command menu and post back to the client machine. The client machine will render that tabular editor on top of the request-editing-web-page. The user now can edit new information using the tabular, after user done editing; user will click (or trigger) on the button to submit new information to server. As soon as client submit these new information value into web control, the engine server will lock a Dtt_lock, so that no other control is allow to enter the editing until the exit or action must be taken first. In a response to the user action, the server will store that new data in to data storage; the server then generates a webpage with new input data (values), reload the said command menu, and then post back to the client system. The client will render it on the current webpage.

On the DTT tabular form, the user will have to select a commit or cancel action to keep or remove the new information by an action of clicking one of the two buttons. After triggering these said actions, the control from the dynamic on-top tabular form will return to the web page. In a response of select action user perform, the client will send the request to the server. The server receives the request. According to request from the client system, the server will act upon that request. For example, in case of the Undo action, the previous value of in the web control is restored, and in case of the Save action, the server will save the new data as current data for that item in the web control. In both case, the server will generate a new html document and post it back to client with new input data as view data. The client system will render the new html document to the current web page. Any time, if the client wants to quit editing on a web control, he or her simply click the exit button.

It is an object of this invention with the tabular approach on how data being present on strategic DBMS to utilize that the same approach when editing data on web pages. For example, business information record (or entity) stored in data storage will be viewed as fields (or attributes) Business Name, Business Type, Business Address, Business Phone entities. The typical tabular form view includes field names and field values, and they are arranged in column(s) and row(s) in whichever way is easier to view by viewer. With Dynamic on-Top Tabular (DTT), the modal popup will also display with the same philosophy. To edit that business information, the web store owner must enter information for each field: Business Name, Business Type, Business Address and Business Phone. In conclusion, we will have DBMS capability on every of edit form.

1-2-3 DTT Edit with Dynamic On-Top Tabular invention is designed to solve current web editor's problems. Web store owner can have the same vision to the web page as their customers do thanks to 1-2-3 DTT Edit Tabular. 1-2-3 DTT Edit will simplify the process of editing information on web pages. The web store owner simply takes actions (which is consistent across the web pages) regardless the detail behind the actions, and then take a confirm action if needed. Dynamic On-Top Tabular framework will save the cost of developing and managing said various look-and-feel popup edit dialogs.

Yet another object of this invention is to capture various skill levels of individual people that are developing and managing web pages.

A still further object of the invention is to be a toolkit and/or web service.

In addition to the above objects, various other objects of this invention will be apparent from careful reading of this specification including the detailed description contained herein below.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The following detailed description and accompanying drawings are provided for purposes of illustrating and describing presently preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention in anyway. However, it will be recognized by one skilled in the art that various changes in the details, materials, arrangement of parts or operational conditions which have been herein described and illustrated in order to explain the nature of the invention maybe made or altered by those skilled in the art within the principles and scope of the invention or with equivalents thereof.

An embodiment of the present invention provides a method and system for easy-to-use and consistent constituent same look and feel across the page when the client is editing information on web pages. The 1-2-3 Dynamic on Top Tabular (DTT) Edit of the present invention simplify the learning curve when the user interact during they are editing the information in the control across the pages. Once the user have make change or entering information for one control, they can repeat the same approach for another control. Both lay out and actions are consistent across all controls and pages. When the client system is provided with an identifier to identify that user, The client system display information that identifies the editing-data and display said command menu that a user is about to perform to request to edit the data. In response to the indicated action being performed, the server will use with use the identifiers (client id, web page id, control id, and action type) to generate a suitable tabular editor and post back to the client machine. The client machine will render that tabular editor on top of the request-editing-web-page. The user now can edit new information using the tabular, after user done editing; user may confirm the change by click (or trigger) on the button on dynamic on-top tabular form to submit new information (values) to server. In a response to the user action, the server will store that new data in to data storage; the server then generates a webpage with new input data (values), and reloads said command menu, and then post back to the client system. The client will render it on the current webpage.

On the DTT tabular form, the user will have to select a commit (commit) or cancel action to keep or remove the new information by an action of clicking (or trigger) one of the two buttons. In a response of select action user perform, the client will send the request to the server. The server receives the request. According to request from the client system, the server will act upon that request. After triggering these said actions, the control from the dynamic on-top tabular form will return to the web page. At said web page, number next actions can be done when editor trigger a command (action) on said command menu. For example, in case of the Undo action, the server will remove the new data, reset the previous data as current generate an html document and post it back to client machine. The client system will render the new html to the current web page.

In another case, for example, the Save action on said command menu is triggered, the server will save the new data as current data, and generate a new html document and post it back to client with new input data as view data. The client system will render the new html document to the current web page.

The client can exit editing on a web control by trigger the exit action. As soon as the client quit editing the control, the Dtt_lock will be release immediately. 1-2-3 DTT edit approach can be repeatedly on any other web controls.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrates an embodiment of the present invention. When the server receive the information, client id, control id, and action type from browser (system of 101, 102, 103, and 104), the server will store these information at server side into system of 109, and then the server engine (system of 107) at the server side will generate an suitable dynamic on top tabular form (system of 108) to let the user continue fulfill or complete their initial requested action. In the some simple case, the server engine simply show a very simple version of dynamic on top tabular message form to clarify the action (such as undo, redo, save, exit, and etc. . . . ) that user have taken. All the data have been changed during the editing will be preserve or store into the customer data base (system of 110) for later use. These change or updated information will be retrieve or view on the web site at view mode to be browsed.
